Planting and growing information

Plant Black Parrot tulip bulbs in fall, from September through November, after the first frost. They thrive in well-drained soil in full sun to partial shade, planted 5 inches deep and spaced 4-8 inches apart. Hardy in USDA zones 3-8, these tulips bloom in late spring, reaching 40-45 cm in height. After flowering, remove spent blooms but allow foliage to die back naturally to ensure strong returns in subsequent seasons.
